My Legacy 2.5i and Suzuki XL-7 are saying bye-bye in some time. They are getting replaced for a newer Subaru Legacy or Outback, and a brand new Volvo S80 3.2 that I'm going to pick up at the Volvo factory in Sweden and drive it through Europe, then bring it to the states and drive it for a couple months until everything is ready and I'm taking both cars with me to Peru where they'll stay.
This would be my first Volvo so I'm not sure what these cars like, I have to take into account that:
#1: The lightest oil that's easy to find over there is 5w40 synthetic
#2: This car will not get driven hard
#3: It'll live in a city that's bigger than NYC (Lima), so it won't get up to high speeds...usually under 40mph, MAYBE twice a year it'll get up to 110mph+ (there's a highway that can be insane over there)
#4: Temperatures over there, it does not get hotter than 80, or colder than 50 degrees farenheit.
Should I try to take tons of GC with me??
***forgot to add: Later on I intend on doing the same with a Volvo C30 with the turbo 5-cylinder engine.. so if anyone knows what that engine prefers too.. thank you
